Rare Host Anne Posted April 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It is with a very heavy heart that I'm posting to let our community know that Host Walt has passed away. I've worked with Walt to monitor the message boards here on Cruise Critic for nearly 20 years. He was such a good caretaker of our Cruise Critic community. He and his wife loved to cruise (especially Holland America and Celebrity), flowers and gardening and tennis (Roger Federer in particular). It seems surreal at the moment. I truly enjoyed sharing the duties of "host" with Walt over the years. He was a gentleman and a friend. We will miss him greatly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a wonderful man whom for when I first started here he was the first person to welcome me to the board. I was wondering for quite awhile where was Walt? Walt smooth sailings with God’s grace!
